Question 14 • GA-GSE English Language Arts 11

Which research question would be the most effective in researching the effects of text messaging on adolescents?

Answer
A
Does text messaging affect adolescents’ ability to read and write?
B
How many text messages does the average adolescent send each day?
C
What percentage of adolescents communicate using text messages?
D
Do adolescents prefer text messaging, e-mailing, or talking on the phone?

Explanation

Choice A asks whether text messaging affects adolescents’ ability to read and write, so it directly investigates an effect of texting. The other questions measure how often adolescents text, how many use texting, or which communication method they prefer; they do not examine texting’s effects.
